Ben Hansen from “Fact or Faked” analyzes President Barack Obama’s interview on Jimmy Kimmel on March 12, 2015.

Kimmel asked Obama the same question he asked Bill Clinton in 2014 about his efforts to look into the UFO files. Is Obama’s joking about the subject indicative of what he may or may not know? Does he exhibit any signs of stress or deceit?

Never before has a U.S. President given information or denied UFO information in the same way.
